Pre-Bookable Extended Access Appointments

We are pleased to be able to offer our patients access to routine, pre-booked appointments at evenings and weekends from Monday 24th September.

The new service is part of an extended access service which has been commissioned by NHS South West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

Extended hours run between 18:30 and 20:00 weekdays and 09:00 and 12:00 Saturday and Sunday and are available on bank holidays and across the Easter, Christmas and New Year periods.

Appointments are for pre-bookable, non-urgent consultations with GPs and Nurses. Examples of these include chronic illness, asthma checks and routine GP appointments.

The service is being delivered at Sleaford Medical Group and managed by a federation of GPs in the Sleaford area. This means that your appointment could be with a health professional from any of the federation practices.

To arrange an appointment, please speak to your practice receptionist.

When booking an appointment you will need to consent to a Consulting Clinician that may not be your own GP viewing and updating your health record.
